bumpity bump. Teejay wht box you using on your engine? F25 or F28?
Yes j@z your right. The engine needed moved towards the f28 by 23mm by using a spacer on the driveshaft bracket (the one from the engine) and spacers in the drive side engine mount.
What most people do is use existing f25 gearbox mount and tap out one bolt hole on the f28 to suit the mount. This is why I'm wondering has anyone used an f28 gearbox mount?? Like one of the fancy german stiff toughened jobbies
I'd heard through a few threads people saying they were going through engine mounts like mad (not sure which one) but i can only assume this is down to the job of spacing not being done right either the shaft spacer wrong size or the drivers side mount not being spaced right or a combo of both.
well i think best course of action is to use f25 mount and see how it goes. If there are any issues i'll fabricate something similar to the above mount
Just looked this morning mate.I'm using the F25 mount on mine, Works fine fits fine.
your using the f28 aint you ray?? I'll assume saying as it was phils box and stuff that you had no drilling etc to do. Tell us this boss, how did you find getting the linkage aligned??
i know you can use the f25 mount for the gearbox and there is a hole on the box that needs tapped out. But i have heard that some people experience problems and break mounts. I'll assume if i getan F28 mount it i'll be a direct fit and there'll be no problems?? or would this problem only arise form the engine not being spaced correctly.Many thanks conal nugent
and don't rag the tits off it lol.
lol this is the issue. Im building it for pure power lad. Dont get me wrong i wont be thrashing the crap out of it all the time but hell no i wont granny drive it either
